The best, whether you eat in or take out. Favorite is the mussels with rice meal. Servings are plentiful. Staff is friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Thai tea is great. Atmosphere is calming. read more

I really love this Thai place. The service is great, and the staff are very friendly. We stopped by for a quick meal and didn't order anything too heavy since we still had a long drive ahead. Overall, it's a wonderful spot and definitely worth visiting. read more

A Yelp first for me... a third review of an establishment. And with good reason. I'm part of a small group of ten people at my church in Glenview. We've met about a dozen times or so and early on, someone would step up and bring food to our gatherings. My group is mostly of Asian descent so I've enjoyed some awesome dishes such as pancit, lechon and a Malay dish to name a few. It was my turn to step up this week, so I decided to bring Chicken Pad Thai from Yum Thai along with a couple of appetizers. There are about a half dozen Thai places near me and all of them offer some great Thai food. But to me, the Pad Thai at Yum Thai is the best. And while the hospitality is good at the other places too, it feels like the red carpet gets rolled out for me every time I go there. So I picked up the order right when they opened so I'd make it to my meeting. The owner lent me a warming bag to ensure the food stayed hot for the 45 minute trip... she also priced my order favorably as well. So I set the food up when I arrived and we ate as we began our meeting. The group absolutely LOVED the food... including two comments, "this is the best Chicken Pad Thai I've ever had." So I'm not alone with my opinion! Thanks again to all at Yum Thai for providing us with an outstanding meal. read more

The service and food were great. Been there twice since I found this gem of a restaurant.

I'm a long time customer... I started with pad kee mao, then moved onto the curry's, yum Thai curry, green, yellow, and now completely obsessed with the tom yum chicken soup- the best soup in the area! Other family favorites are the sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon. read more

Absolutely incredible-5 star service all around! Came to Yum Thai after searching Thai food on Google and finding all of the wonderful and positive reviews. Dined in around 6pm on a Saturday night and it was lovely. They played music, enough for a good background noise, but nothing crazy. We sat at the bar and the service was impeccable. It's family owned and the staff are very attentive to their customers satisfaction. I will absolutely be back! read more

Best Thai food I've had all year - absolutely try the Cat fish Curry the fish is perfectly cooked and the coconut curry packs a punch that makes me want to come back next week. Vicki told us some of the history of this seasoned restaurant and suggested excellent dishes. A nice big shop that allowed us to have a conversation at a normal speaking level. Also the candles are so cute. 5/5 I will be coming back read more

Charming restaurant, perfect for lunch. Food was delicious and the service was great. I definitely plan on returning.

I just had the best Basil Fried Rice with Shrimp EVER! The rice was perfectly cooked and amazingly seasoned!! The shrimp were perfectly cooked and a nice size. I cut them in half. Yum Yum. read more

Went here yesterday for a late lunch. Was overwhelmed at how cute this place is, and our waitress was extremely nice and helpful! We were both going to order the Tom Yum soup, but she recommended we split it since she said it was very large. FANTASTIC soup!! Probably one of the best I've ever had, just be forewarned it is on the spicier side. As a lunch special, they also offer 2 potstickers or cucumber salad with your entrees per person. We chose both and split that as well. VERY good!! For our entree we had the Pad See Ew and again, probably one of the best I ever had with lots of veggies and chicken. Do not pass up the place. Very reasonable prices and everything was very fresh and very tasty! We will be back!! read more

Whenever we come in from the East Coast to visit family, Yum Thai is always on our list! The food is amazing every time and the people couldn't be nicer!! read more

Ordered takeaway from Yum Thai last night. My 4 yo had the satay skewers and ate 2 of them, huge win. And they really were tasty, especially the peanut dipping sauce, which had a little kick so he didn't eat much of it. My husband had chicken pad see ewe which was just okay. My Penang tofu curry was something to write home about for sure- yum! The tofu was the melt in your mouth kind, the kind I always hope for when I order tofu and almost never get, and the curry was rich and flavorful. The only thing that would have made it better was if I could have ordered tofu + veggies. read more

I hadn't been to Yum Thai in years since they were at the old location. About a year ago, we decided we wanted Thai and came into the present location. Since then, in the past year, we've returned at least 8 times. These people are awesome. The food is always great and fresh. From the minute you walk in the door, they are pleasant, attentive, and willing to go out of their way for us as customers. I'm not sure why a minority of people find a problem with this place, but I've never had one, and every time I've eaten there, I see nothing but happy customers. This isn't a place where you order, get your food and forgotten about until you get the bill. They literally go out of their way numerous times to make sure your food and overall dining experience is to your expectations. I've been to a lot of Thai places over the years, and regret never returning to Yum Thai for many years, but this is one of my favorite places for Thai Food. It's literally worth the trip to go there, as I don't live in the immediate area. The owner and the young lady who waits on us, are the best! No complaints here! read more

Great food as always, staff is super friendly! Can't wait to go again.mussels are the best

Amazing! The owner really makes this place such a warm and welcoming space, she remembers your preferences and the food is always spectacular! read more

This is my go to spot for Thai food. I really like their pad kee mao, Bangkok chicken, and shrimp in nam prik paw sauce. Love the people that work here too, they are so friendly! read more

Food was great! Ambiance was romantic and the restaurant looked very modern. I really liked the roses that they had at every table. The Thai iced tea and Thai coffee are a must if you're going to this restaurant. (They are on the sweeter side) the waitress with short hair was super accommodating as well. 10/10 read more

We've been coming to Yum Thai since it was at the previous location. Tonight we were very happy to see the new location was full with the costumes! The food was delicious and the service was excellent even though the place was packed! I don't have a picture, but my favorite is "shrimp in blanket" from the appetizer menu. read more

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. The owner is delightful and the server is so nice. We have been there a few times and it is some of the best Thai food I have had in the States. So far we have had the Panang curry, Green curry, spicy ground chicken with basil, Pad see ew, and Ko soy. We also had the shrimp with ground chicken appetizer. All were excellent. Prices are really reasonable and portions are generous. I can't say enough good things about this place. I live in CA but if I lived here I would go here a few times a month. read more

Ordered dinner from Yum Thai tonight and it was ok. Had it delivered via grub hub. I'm surprised they delivered this far away. The super high reviews may have thrown off my expectations, but I find the food to be so-so. I ordered the red curry spicy and it was quite spicy. This was decent. The pad kee mao was also decent. The basil tofu was not real great. I don't think there was a spicy or other option on the dishes except for the curry, so maybe there wasn't enough spiciness. Idk. Overall it was just kind of good but not great. I'd like to make it out to this restaurant in-person once and give it a shot. Looking forward to that. read more

This place was AMAZING! We were just visiting and I was craving some Asian food. SOOO happy I came across this spot. I feel like crab rangoons are always a good indicator of how the rest of the food will be, and I'd rate theirs a 12/10. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and not greasy at all. Even thought the two times we visited were for takeout, every dish we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely one of those hidden gems you stumble on while traveling, I'd come back here in a heartbeat! read more

I wish it was better. No lunch specials, $29 for two meals. It was pretty good if the price was right. Cashew chicken was good, but small portion. Pad Thai was just ok, even a little dry. Nothing special. read more

Fantastic food and even better service! Came in for a solo dinner on a Thursday night. Their delivery/takeout demand was high, but no one was dining in. I ordered enough food for a group - Thai iced tea, fried tofu, Tom kha, sesame chicken, and mango sticky rice. Every item was well seasoned and delicious. They are moving east on Madison at some point, and I'm sure they'll be insanely busy all the time then! The prices are great...all this for under $50!!! read more

Food was amazing and ambiance was pleasant. We sat next to locals who have likely been dining here for years. I prefer a different type of Thai Hot Sauce than I received, but the food was still SO good. I will be back. read more
